(Whatever that means…though it usually involves Judd Apatow and Rogen in a message T-shirt.)
But its not for everybody, thats for sure.
Nobody is more surprised that a mainstream studio like Warner Brothers would release such dark fare than Rogen himself.
I cant believe it, says the 26-year-old actor.
I watch this movie and I cant believe they let us do it.
Its like when I first started watchingSouth Park.
How were they allowed to do this?
What company is funding this?
Brandi (played with divine obnoxiousness by Anna Faris) deigns to go on a date with Rogen.
She gets schlitzed on shots and pills, and vomits a little on herself by nights end.
I think people are laughing because Im not being full on date-raped, says Faris.
And they did some, but not a whole lot.
And Im proud of that, actually.
But at the time when we were shooting that scene, it was like, Really?
Were going to do this?
Vomit down the side of my face?
Rogen says nobody at the studio ever asked them to alter or excise the scene.
There were some arguments with the studio, he says.
That wasnt one of them.
(Warner Brothers chose not to comment on the matter.)
Im not sure how audiences will respond to the movie.
(Entertainment Weekly critic Lisa Schwarzbaum writes thatObserve and Reportis risky and riotous andgives it an A-.)
Moviegoers, youve been warned.Observe and Reportis in fact an odd and sort of creepy black comedy.
Maybe Im sick in the head, but I still recommend it.
